Part of the fun of Comic Con is dressing up as your favorite fictional character. But while most people opt for an impressive superhero costume, this guy decided to use his natural assets to his advantage.
Meet Robert Franzese. Robert is pretty much the best Peter Griffin impersonator besides "Family Guy" creator Seth McFarlane himself. Actually, if we're counting physical appearance in the mix, then Robert even beats McFarlane at impersonating his own character.

Good news, Clone Club: "Orphan Black" is getting another season!
The BBC America genre drama has officially been renewed after a nail-biter of a week following the season two finale. The ratings for the show remained on the weaker side during the second season, though it did end up with about 1.3 million viewers for the season two finale.
However, other metrics were strong for the show.

Show of hands: Who's ready for a singing, dancing Christopher Walken dressed like a pirate?
That's what you'll be getting if you tune in this fall to NBC's live performance of "Peter Pan." The musical special is rumored to have its first starring cast member in Christopher Walken, who will play Captain Hook.
One might not immediately equate Walken with musicals, but those who saw the music video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice" know that the actor has some serious dancing skills.

What would you do if Rihanna pulled you on stage and gave you a lap dance?
I'm sure you'd like to think that you'd be all cool about it. Maybe you'd turn and give a wink to the crowd. Or maybe you'd be really bold and give Rihanna's ass a slap a la Michael Cera (retaliatory slap be damned).
But in reality, you'd probably do exactly what this guy did.
